Great day of racing...usually great weather...a good way to get familiar with the facility for Breeders Cup Day. Maybe we'll get lucky and get to see RTR there.

Are you going?

BillW...book a Southwest flight to Long Island and stay at my home and we'll drive to the Jersey shore for the weekend It's only about 1 1/2 hours by car!

PS..if you thought the filly's were nice at Keeneland when we went in the spring...WAIT till the Monmouth meet starts up.

GO BABY GO

Hmmm, might just do that - it's a long trip all the way up to Saratoga - this would make a great rest stop . I'll get back!

The only place where the fillies might eclipse those at Keeneland is Del Mar, a track I've yet to visit.

I'm a firm believer in "good enough" anything beyond that is just icing on the cake.

For sure NOT BELMONT!!! The ONLY good looking fillies there are usually hanging onto the arms of one of the Dutrow brothers. The rest are ready for the shed

Del Mar wins hands down.

Talk about a tough time...all the local hotels are already sold out for Haskell weekend at Monmouth. Are they in trouble for Breeders Cup then!

I'm staying 17 miles away by Rutgers University in New Brunswick for Hskell weekend.
